Default Will 968 rear quarter windows fit 944?

Hi!

I ordered a pair of rear quarter 968 windows to fit on my 944s. I ordered them from FG Porsche, a Belgian company, and they are not sure it will fit. Has anyone from rennlist tried this before? I've seen contradictory messages on different forums.

Thanks,
Tim

I don't think they'll fit. the bottom of the 944 rear quarter windows angle up like this :

They won't fit. As mentioned in the previous post, the 944's windows angles up whereas the 968's windows stay more level.

It's my understanding that 968 quarter windows only work on 968's. The shape of the window is actually subtly different, the bottom of a 968 is flatter whereas on a 944 there is a slight slope up towards the rear.

You can see it, sort of, in these two pics:
